Judge orders reporter to turn over Schoolcraft’s documents

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 23 April 2014 | 18.18

A Manhattan federal judge sided with the de Blasio administration on Tuesday by ordering former Village Voice reporter Graham Rayman to turn over documents and emails he used as sources for his book about NYPD whistleblower cop Adrian Schoolcraft.

Judge Robert Sweet's decision compels "The NYPD Tapes" author Rayman to turn over some – but not all – of the documents that city lawyers defending a lawsuit filed by Schoolcraft had subpoenaed. The items the city is under order to receive include statements by Schoolcraft, emails the Brooklyn cop sent Rayman and a memo from Schoolcraft regarding "NYPD misconduct."

Schoolcraft filed a $50 million lawsuit in 2010 against the city alleging he was forced to spend time in a mental ward after saying cops at the 81st Precinct fudged crime stats.

His ex-commander, Deputy Inspector Steven Mauriello, filed a $2 million counterclaim, alleging Schoolcraft drummed up bogus complaints about wrongdoing at the 81st because he wanted to punish him.

Rayman had claimed he was protected from turning over the documents by "reporter's privilege" under First Amendment rights. His lawyer did not return messages.
